The good: Everything, the touch screen is VERY acurate, music and speaker, picture wuality, camera, video, personalization, call quality, texting, battery, design, EVERYTHING!The bad: None. Video is a Tiny bit pixely but i can live with it.Summary: Great phone, you wont regret it, no mistakes or anything. Battery life is good if you over use you'll still have half or 3/4 bars left. GREAT futures, fun to use and the touch screen is awesome! I love the camera and everything else. I would recommend to everyone.

The good: Nice camera. Very user friendly. Easy customization. Great look and durable. Texting is great after you get used to it.The bad: The web is very hard to navigate around.Summary: Over all I think this phone is solid. There's abundh of cool features on this phone like you can handwrite your texts. And you can take videos at 1200 frames per second and can play of back in slow mo. The camera is 3.2 mega pixels. Also the phone feels great. It's not as long as the instinct and not as fat as the voyager. Great phone I recomend it.

Dare is pretty good

Posted on:January 31st, 2009by Nick Carmean

The good: Good size, nice sound quality, camera phoneThe bad: Slower touch screen, often hit thew wrong keysSummary: The LG Dare was one of the best phones i've ever used. It is very neat to say the least. It can run kind of slow at times but overall is a very good touchj screen phone from Verizon. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice touch screen phone at affordable price.

GREAT Phone - BUY IT, you won't regret it.

Posted on:August 21st, 2008by Linda Anderson

The good: Easy to navigate around. I love the vibration it makes to acknowledge your input. The camera is awesome and the ability to rotate it 90 deg. is great for watching videos and looking at pics.The bad: Not much - maybe that it seems you have to be very careful where you press on it when selections are close together. You can calibrate it, but it still requires coordination. ;0) Does anyone know how to make the video settings stick? Mine always revert back to the original settings after I exit that screen.Summary: It's a lot less frustrating if you read the manual first. I love mine now and 2 co-workers bought one after playing with mine for 10 minutes.

I love it

Posted on:July 29th, 2008by Julie Waters

The good: Easy to use. Love the touch screen, texting is great especially since I have nails and it was pain with the manual qwerty keyboards.The bad: I thought the web browsing could be simplified. If you text a long message I don't know how you get to the first screen to make corrections. (Maybe I should read the manual Heehee) Summary: It's sleek and so easy to use. The sound quality and reception is great. I don't need to bring my camera with me I think this phone takes a better picture. Even the video quality is good. I traded in the Chocolate crap phone and absolutely love this one!

Not user friendly

Posted on:July 15th, 2008by todd m

The good: Small with cool featuresThe bad: Touch screen is terrible to use other than looking at.Summary: If you try using the Web Browser be prepared to hit the screen alot of times to get the button you want to work.If you are using it to text message be prepared to hit the back button many times. I do not have big finger either. The touch is awlful. I returned it after having it 14 days. I also have the VX10000. You can not go wrong with old school qwerty keyboard. My text message time more than doubled trying to text people back. I bought the Chocolate 3 today for a replacement of it.
